Tom and Margo Hartley with son Todd.

Couple of commitment FOR Margo and Tom Hartley, last year was the culmination of decades of hard work and commitment to the community.

The Endeavour Hills husband and wife team received recognition of the highest order and, for their remarkable 12 months, the Journal selected them as joint recipients of its Person of the Year title.

Giving to the Dandenong community has always come naturally to Margo.

In June she was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List for service to the Dandenong community and to youth through the Scouting movement.

“With everything I’ve done I’ve just had so many wonderful people backing me. I could never have done these things on my own,” she said.

“I think it’s a natural thing for me, when I could, to be able to give back.”

She’s been a vestry member at St James’ Anglican Church in Dandenong for more than 25 years, has been attending its services for 50 and helped to organise the church’s 150th birthday celebrations, held in July last year.

She met Tom through the church’s youth group and started her 20-year service to the Scouting movement when a vicar asked her to be a 9th Dandenong St James’ Scouts Cub leader at age 17.

“The promise I made to do

2014 PEOPLE OF THE YEAR my best is one I’ve kept ever since,” she said.

Margo raises funds for Dandenong Hospital and has been involved with Mercy Ships since 2007.

“It’s a hospital ship that brings hope and healing to the forgotten poor in West Africa,” she said.

“On this ship you actually see the lame walk and the blind see before your eyes.”

Margo celebrated her care and empowerment centre Brand New Day’s first birthday last November.

The restored 1920s home in Foster Street East is a safe haven to enjoy activities, learn new skills and meet new friends.

She recalled one man who came in for help to write a resume.

“He came in and said ‘thankyou for all your help, it’s just been great. I was going to commit suicide two weeks ago’,” she said.

“If that’s all you’ve done, it’s been worth it.”

Tom started Hilton Manufacturing in 1976 in a tin shed in

Hilton Street, Dandenong, with three employees.

He worked 7am to midnight while Margo cared for young sons Todd and Mark.

In June he joined the Victorian Hall of Fame Honour Roll, a nod reserved for individuals or organisations that have made an outstanding contribution to manufacturing excellence in Victoria.

His Dandenong South company earned Victorian Manufacturing Hall of Fame induction in 2008.

Hilton employs about 250 people from 25 cultures.

“This company is like a family to Margo and I. You do the right thing by your people and that manifests itself,” he said.

“People are proud here,

they’re proud to talk about working here, and the vibes go to your customers, to your suppliers.”

Margo recalled a “guy from the country” who asked for a job at Hilton.

His dad had worked with the company so the Hartleys were happy to offer him extra support – an apartment, furniture, even sending his supervisor to get him out of bed when he failed to show up.

“He now owns a signwriting business,” she said.

“Simple acts of care can indeed change lives.”

Margo said people might forget what someone said or did.

“But people will never forget how you made them feel,” she said.

IT’S not often that a new newspaper is born but that is exactly what happened when the first edition of the Journal News was published on Monday 20 October 2014.

The Journal News combined the best of the Berwick News and the Dandenong Journal to specifically keep readers in Doveton, Endeavour Hills, Eumemmerring and Hallam across all the news and events happening in their neighbourhood.

The vision for the Journal News was that it would also be the newspaper of record for important regional events and issues affecting the City of Greater Dandenong and the City of Casey.

The first edition of the Journal News featured on its front page the inspiring tale of Endeavour Hills mum Sherone Armel and her battle to care for her son, Armani, who was just one when he was diagnosed with quadriplegic spastic cerebral palsy, a physical disability that prevents the boy from walking unaided or from forming proper words.

In October Sherone walked the threekilometre leg of the Melbourne Marathon , pushing Armani in a specially adapted bike.

Other prominent stories since the Journal News’ launch included the brave public declaration by Casey councillor Rafal Kaplon that he was gay in the face of moves to scrap programs promoting the awareness of different sexual orientations at the city of Casey, bullying allegations during November’s State Election and the 10th anniversary celebrations of the Endeavour Hills Police Station.

2014 – THE YEAR THAT WAS…

Parlour games claim A FUNERAL parlour business implicated in reports about a State Ombudsman’s investigation into Casey councillors Geoff Ablett and Amanda Stapledon denied involvement in November.

Crs Ablett and Stapledon - who stood as Liberal candidates in the State Election - had previously denied wrongdoing after being interviewed as part of the probe into “donations and council planning decisions”.

The Australian newspaper had reported that one of the planning decisions under scrutiny involved an application by a “funeral home to establish a low-cost business in the area”.

Bereavement Assistance director Kieran Worthington and general manager Adrian Gillman denied they or the business had donated to the Liberal Party or the two candidates.

Mr Worthington said it was “telling” that no-one involved in the company had yet been inter-

viewed by the State Ombudsman.

“I didn’t know there was an investigation until the newspaper report last week.

“We’re a charitable organisation. We don’t give to political parties. We enjoy bipartisan support for the work we do

with the community.

“We feel like we’ve become a political football to kick around.

It was apparent that some councillors didn’t like each other.”

Mr Worthington directly denied he or his father Ted, who founded the not-for-profit business, had given political donations.

He said he and his father, as Justices of the Peace, had met Crs Ablett and Stapledon at events but these had been their only meetings.

In August, Casey councillors approved Bereavement Assistance’s planning permit application for a funeral parlour at 236 Cranbourne Road, Narre Warren South - rescinding their decision to reject the proposal a month earlier.

Narre Warren North MP Luke Donnellan refuted suggestions the allegations were part of a “dirty tricks” campaign instigated by Labor.

Paper helps with the search for asylum IN AUGUST the Journal launched its Give Us A Hand campaign in support of the City of Greater Dandenong’s push for more resources to help asylum seekers and refugees.

The campaign started with a front page letter to Prime Minister Tony Abbott outlining the increasing burden on community organisations struggling to look after new arrivals.

In mid-August the city played host to a forum attended by representatives of municipalities across Victoria as well as the Municipal Association of Victoria, the Refugee Council, the Ethnic Communities Council of Victoria and the Office of Multicultural Affairs and Citizenship.

Councillor Roz Blades said she and her fellow councillors were determined to send a message

to Canberra that the situation in Greater Dandenong was stretched to breaking point and without help there could be unwanted social and economic consequences.

Throughout the second half of 2014, the Journal published weekly stories about the contribution of asylum seekers and refugees to the Greater Dandenong community under the banner Give Us A Hand.

The newspaper also high-

lighted the stress on community organisations as they struggled to meet the demands of people who arrive with virtually nothing and are accorded limited welfare and no work rights.

By year’s end support was building behind Greater Dandenong and Cr Blades hoped a delegation would travel to Canberra in early 2015 to present a joint statement.

The chill of ice THE News spoke to James (not his real name) in March, who beat his ice addiction after three years of dependency on the drug.

The 32-year-old’s life spiralled out of control soon after he began using it.

James spoke of the extreme paranoia that consumed him while he was high on ice, including a harrowing episode which saw him hallucinating on the floor of a shed in Cranbourne for eight hours, taken to hospital the next day and transferred to a psychiatric ward for 10 days after that.

“I was thinking I was getting eaten alive, for eight hours,” James had said.

“I thought there were bugs crawling down the wall, I could see them. I could actually see them, and spiders crawling down the wall.

“And snakes kept coming to bite me, and they were biting into me and eating me alive.

But it was through numbness, I was all numb.”

James, who lived in Doveton, said he started “hitting the drugs” when he made his way from rural Victoria to Melbourne, experimenting with marijuana, speed, heroin and everything in between.

By the age of 28, James had started using ice, injecting the methamphetamine into his bloodstream after a friend showed him how to.

James said the drug was like nothing he had ever taken before and extremely hard to stop using.

“You’re also addicted to the actual needle, going in and feeling that instant feeling,” he said.

“You could feel it run through your whole body, straight to your head, up the back of your neck.”

2014 – THE YEAR THAT WAS…

One night in September CONFUSING and shocking – the words from a former imam at Numan Haider’s Hallam mosque aptly described one of the year’s most disturbing events.

One September night Haider, 18, allegedly stabbed two police officers – one suffering serious wounds – and was shot dead in the Endeavour Hills police station car park, next door to a childcare centre.

Haider’s family was devastated, police beefed up their own security protocols and there were worries over what ripples of violence might ensue.

Political leaders called for avoiding recriminations against the Muslim community; police and faith leaders conversed, as did everyone – trying to make sense of how this tragedy happened.

There had been warning signs.

Haider was carrying an Islamic State flag and handing out pamphlets in

Dandenong Plaza a week before.

Friends knew he had become radicalised, recently visiting Sydney. Police regarded him as a “person of interest”; his passport cancelled days before.

The former imam said: “I want this message to pose to the whole community: the Muslim community, we are part of the community and we are the same as any community in Australia - some of our youth have problems like any other community.

“Unfortunately our problems are linked to what’s going on around the world.”

The tragic end was however unexpected; hopefully an isolated event by an individual, as described by then-Premier Denis Napthine.

Haider’s death is being investigated by the Coroner.

Rani’s death in Doveton RANI Feathertson’s brutally murdered body was discovered in Doveton in early April.

Police combed nearby Eumemmering Creek after the body of Ms Featherston, 34, was found underneath a tree in Lace Street, Doveton about 7am by factory employees who work in the industrial area.

Detective Senior Sergeant Stephen McIntyre said the woman had sustained cuts to her upper body from what appeared to be a “struggle on the roadway”.

“The girl appears to have been assaulted and at this stage we’re treating it as a homicide,” he said at the time.

“She’s got some significant injuries to the upper body, we believe there was probably an edged weapon used in it, but what type and how many injuries she’s actually got we won’t know until a post mortem’s conducted later on.”

Police extended the crime scene to take in Eumemmering Creek at the end of Lace Street, discovering some discarded clothing in the process.

SES crews were also on deck to assist police with a line search around the creek.

The police investigation is still ongoing.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Kaplon’s coming out CASEY councillor Rafal Kaplon came out publicly as gay after his fellow Four Oaks Ward councillor Rosalie Crestani attempted to raise a motion in November to stop the City of Casey promoting awareness of different sexual orientations.

Cr Kaplon announced he was homosexual following a tumultuous council meeting in which Cr Sam Aziz left in protest, forcing the session to dissolve because there was no longer a quorum.

Cr Crestani’s motion sought to stop council from issuing media releases and remove signs concerning sexual orientation or the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) community.

Cr Crestani, who was a candidate for the Rise Up Australia Party (RUAP) in the State Election, also sought to abolish council’s LGBTI diversity training program.

But none of her fellow councillors supported the motion.

In a statement released after the meeting, Cr Kaplon said he felt it was important to make his sexuality public in a show of “strong community leadership”.

“I chose to make the personal disclosure that I did in my statement at this time on a matter which is normally private and of no relevance or importance to my daily life because I believe this issue called for a show of strong community leadership,” he said.

“And it is pivotal for Casey GLBTQI youth to know that there is nothing wrong with them, and that they have support from the wider community and members of the council.”

Cr Kaplon said he was “relieved” Cr Crestani’s motion did not pass and that the City of Casey remained “accessible and inclusive for all and not just some”.

“Cr Crestani justified her notice of motion as not being against the GLBTQI community but rather to stop singling out groups for special treatment and protecting heterosexuals from discrimination,” he said.

“However I sadly feel that the motion was nothing more than a cheap political ploy by the Rise Up Australia Party.”

2014 – THE YEAR THAT WAS…

Station of the decade sue with hoon behaviour. We had a lot of trouble with youths and hoon behaviour when we first started, and we’ve clearly reduced that,” Sgt Blackburn said.

“It’s made the streets a lot safer.

Areas like the skate park here, the skate park at Doveton, Autumn Place – your strip shopping centres have become a lot safer because of your high density police patrols.”

Senior Sergeant Paul Marshall, a past officer in charge at the station, said Endeavour Hills had “special memories” for him.

“It’s a family within a family. It’s just special. It was my first posting as a senior sergeant,” he said.

“What sets it apart is the culture.

The culture of the place is one about teamwork, it’s one about all-inclusiveness.”

Search for McWhackers POLICE ramped up the hunt in June for 10 men involved in a wild brawl at an Endeavour Hills McDonald’s in 2013 in which three teenagers were viciously set upon.

Detectives released CCTV images and footage of the men involved in the fracas on Saturday 19 October, 2013, which broke out at the Heatherton Road restaurant just before 2.30am.

The attackers were believed to all be aged between 18 and 25. The teenage victims were allegedly reluctant to help detectives with their inquiries.

The three victims were punched and kicked during the attack, with one of them taken to hospital for treatment for a facial wound.

It is believed the three victims exchanged comments with a man just prior to the fight, who then allegedly called friends for backup.

Investigators have been told a group of men then ran into the McDonald’s within a minute and attacked the victims.

Police believe the three victims had been consuming alcohol prior to the fight and were unknown to their attackers.

Anyone with information about the incident or anyone who believes they can assist with identifying those involved is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. ฀

Heart without a name THE heart of Dandenong has changed forever. All it needs is a name.

The $65 million civic centre, library, public square, the big screen and grassy knoll have been enthusiastically received since its official unveiling in April.

Especially the library – nearly 20,000 a week make use of this cuttingedge hub of technology, gaming and print.

Greater Dandenong has trumpeted its deliverance of the project under budget, and the retail spaces have been steadily filling.

Not that there haven’t been some controversies, such as some internal

CCTV

fights over imported Chinese glass and Thai-made carpet tiles being preferred over Australian-made products.

There was also outcry over the council’s desire to reconfigure the executive toilets for the third time in a year.

Lately, there were grumbles about a lack of parking and the temporary closure of the underground car park for a security audit.

There has also been a community campaign to save the former Stuart Street library for community space, rather than make way for extending Dandenong Market’s car park.

Now after all the talk, the wait is on for the crowning touch – the name.

SERGEANT John ‘Blackers’ Blackburn looked back at his 10 years at the Endeavour Hills Police Station and wondered where they went.

The police veteran had been working at the station since it opened, and in early December he was among many past and present cops from the facility who celebrated its 10th birthday at the Churchill Park Golf Club.

Sgt Blackburn is one of several police officers who have worked at the station since it was set up in November 2004, along with Sgt Andrea Winfield, Sgt Mick Sheers and Acting Sgt Greg Pajor.

These are four cops who typify the family-like environment that is palpable among the Endeavour Hills group.

THE Muslim secretary of the Casey Multi-faith Network has called for calm, amid fears of a backlash following the shooting death of a terrorism suspect in Endeavour Hills.

The 18-year-old man was shot dead outside the Endeavour Hills police station around 7.45pm on Tuesday night, after he stabbed a Victoria Police officer and an Australian Federal Police member.

Media reports indicate authorities have privately confirmed the man’s identity to be Numan Haider, from Endeavour Hills.

Casey Multi-faith Network Secretary Naureen Choudhry, a practising Muslim, anticipated the shooting would cause a backlash towards the broader Islamic community and called for clear-thinking. “I really wish there was a way of conveying this isn’t the general sentiment of Muslims, that the Muslim community is generally a very patriotic and law-abiding community,� she said. “This is really the work of one individual that creates a bad reputation for everyone. “I would be very cautious of seeing the entire Muslim community through the same lens as we do these individuals. “Any Muslim person who tries to take justice into their own hands is not abiding by the teachings of Islam, any such actions are not representative of the faith but of that person’s own understanding of the faith.�

Casey Multi-faith Network President Jim Reiher echoed his secretary’s sentiments, calling for solidarity in the wake of the shooting. “We stand with our Muslim friends here in this nation, and affirm that we know they are saddened and distressed at the cruelty that is done supposedly in the name of their religion,� he said. “It is an abhorrent misrepresenta-

Their presence has made our community a rich, multicultural tapestry but it is also putting intolerable strain on the charities, churches and generous individuals who are doing their best to meet the needs of families which are struggling to cover the basic necessities of life: food, shelter, clothing and education.

Our community responds with open hearts and hands when it comes to looking after those less fortunate but there is a limit to our capacity to care.

The Journal supports the City of Greater Dandenong’s campaign for more resources to support the newest and most disadvantaged members of our community.

We have the ability and expertise here to look after some of the world’s most vulnerable people, but we need more help from your government.

We urge you to respond positively to Greater Dandenong’s submission for help, which has the support of peak local government bodies in Victoria.

Your refugee policies are not what is in question. Our concern is our capacity to look after people once they are here.

She escaped through the unlocked door the next morning and reported the incident to Endeavour Hills police.

The three victims were punched and kicked during the attack, with one of them taken to hospital for treatment for a facial wound.

Police believe it was lucky no one was seriously injured during the brawl.

It is believed the three victims exchanged comments with a man just prior to the fight, who then allegedly called friends for back-up.

A spokesperson for White Ribbon, the campaign against violence against women, said being respectful of the family’s wishes in these cases was paramount. “We find that family, friends and colleagues of the victim come to us and ask us how they can work as part of preventing this violence by actively raising awareness through events that also fund-raise and provide the opportunity to donate to the cause in memory of the person,� the spokesperson said.

But as the Homicide Squad investigation into her death continues, little is known of Rani, other than she was known to have family ties in Doveton.

Dr Andy Ruddock, a senior lecturer in media and journalism at Monash University, said the seeming absence of information surrounding Rani’s death and a lack of media resources could be the reason the murder had not gained traction in the public imagination.

Dr Ruddock said there was significantly less information surrounding

Rani mattered WHATEVER the circumstances surrounding her death, Rani Featherston was someone’s daughter, someone’s sister, someone’s friend.

While the murders of mother of four Fiona Warzywoda in Sunshine and young Luke Batty at Tyabb attracted an avalanche of media coverage and an outpouring of community grief, the equally violent death of a young woman in Doveton’s industrial neighbourhood has been largely forgotten.

Rani Featherston, 34, was assaulted and murdered in Lace Street off Eumemmering Creek earlier this month. Her body was discovered by employees from a nearby factory around 7am on Wednesday 2 April, as they made their way to work.

She sustained significant injuries to

CAUGHT ON

THE South East Try a Trade and Careers Expo took a hands-on approach, giving students a taste of a vast range of career paths.

Held on Tuesday at the Cranbourne Turf Club, more than 1650 students from Casey, Cardinia and Greater Dandenong visited the expo.

The 55 exhibits all had something interactive for the students to try, from bricklaying and glazing to cake decorating and ice-cream making.

Berwick College student Lauren tried her hand at airbrushing at the stall from Airbrush Venturi.

â– Players make their mark against family violence...

PLAYERS from Doveton Football Club will wear the white ribbon symbol with pride this season when they step out of the locker room and onto the field.

At a special presentation night to be held on Saturday, the players will be given their new jumpers adorned with the white ribbon symbol, an official recognition of the club’s commitment to the campaign to stop violence against women.

The Doveton Football Club - including its under-17, under-19, reserve and senior sides - has committed to wearing the ribbon in each of their matches for at least the next three years.

Club president Shane Viney said it will be the only club in Australia whose players will wear the ribbon on their jumpers for every game of the season.

The white ribbon will also adorn the club’s polo shirts.

Last year there were more than 7000 reports of family violence in the City of Casey, City of Greater Dandenong and Cardinia Shire.

Mr Viney said he wanted his club to lead the way in promoting the antiviolence cause, particularly in Casey and specifically Doveton, where perceptions were at their worst. “At the end of the day there’s a massive amount of violence outside the gates of the footy club that you don’t hear or see,� he said. “The jumpers are a good thing for the community. “It can start with a footy club, we have 50 kids at the club and if we get through to even half of those kids then we’re doing OK. “That’s all you have to do, your bit.�

Mr Viney pledged the club’s support for the campaign after Cranbourne police Sergeant and former Doveton player Graeme Stanley approached him and club legend Steve Henwood with the idea.

Complaint ends

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD COUNCILLOR Rosalie Crestani has withdrawn her discrimination complaint with the Equal Opportunity Commission against Casey’s Mayor and CEO. Cr Crestani announced last Tuesday that she would be withdrawing her complaints against City of Casey Mayor Mick Morland and CEO Mike Tyler that she had lodged with both the Commission and the Councillor Code of Conduct Panel.

Cr Crestani demanded last year that Casey Mayor Mick Morland resign from

his position after she was prevented from raising an amendment to stop the council from promoting same-sex relationships.

Cr Crestani has now said she would be withdrawing the complaints after a “great deal of soul searching” and would no longer seek the mayor’s resignation.

“I have come to realise what I had set out to achieve in representing the public interest has since veered from the path that I feel is beneficial to all the parties involved,” she said.

“My heart is to work in conjunction with my col-

leagues to achieve greater outcomes for our residents.”

Cr Crestani’s fellow Four Oaks Ward councillor Rafal Kaplon came out publicly as gay in November after she attempted to raise the motion to stop the City of Casey promoting awareness of different sexual orientations.

Cr Crestani’s motion sought to stop the council from issuing media releases and remove signs concerning sexual orientation or the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) community.

Cr Crestani, who was a candidate for the Rise Up

Australia Party (RUAP) in the Victorian election, also sought to abolish the council’s LGBTI diversity training program.

Cr Crestani was removed from her role on a number of council committees after last year’s acrimony.

Cr Morland, who met with her last Wednesday, said it would be a whole council decision as to whether Ms Crestani was ever re-admitted onto the committees.

The first ordinary council meeting for 2015 will take place on Tuesday 20 January.

Heads up for new health service HOLT MP Anthony Byrne visited Fountain Gate Headspace last month to welcome the beginning of the facility’s services.

The new centre, located at Victor Crescent in Narre Warren, will be officially opened in February, but the local youth have been able to visit the facility and receive mental health support since December.

Mr Byrne was joined by Anne Peek and Christine Crosbie from the South Eastern Melbourne Medicare Local when he visited the facility in December.

“After a long community campaign led by Casey’s youth it is exciting that a large headspace centre will

“Casey’s youth should be “Many young people go proud of their campaign for through some challenging

times but to have a local mental health centre that can provide support and assistance to our rapidly growing youth population is vitally important.

“It is important that the families are aware of this facility in Fountain Gate which will be of great value to young people in our region.”

The opening comes after the facility was confirmed in August following concerns aired by federal Labor that the Casey rollout might be in jeopardy.

Fountain Gate Headspace will provide mental health advice to young people aged from 12 to 25.

When your kids are demanding their own bedrooms, that old-fashioned kitchen is getting on your nerves or your house needs a major overhaul, a difficult decision awaits - to renovate or relocate.

Renovating an existing home offers the chance to create the house you want in the location you know and like.

It avoids upheavals such as changing children’s schools or settling into a new community.

But the difficulties are obvious - the disruption, the need to temporarily rent or live in a building site, the expense and potential for cost overruns, the work involved in planning permissions, design and project management.

Buying a new home may seem easier but it brings its own challenges, not least of which is finding the ideal home in your preferred location.

As well, it entails selling your existing home for the right price and co-ordinating moving from one to the other, preferably without renting in the interim.

It’s a difficult choice, and one of those occasions when making a list of priorities can help.

Start by asking yourself what you want most - is it to stay in your current location and to live in a home which meets all your requirements and fulfills the wish list you have been compiling for all those years?

If the answer is yes, ask

yourself whether all the downsides of a major renovation - from potentially months with no kitchen and/or bathroom to choosing everything from light fittings to drawer handles - are worth it to achieve your location and dream home goals.

If you decide that the end result is worth it, start interviewing architects to obtain costs for your renovation and ensure that what you want is achievable with the funds you have.

Thoroughly analyse your finances, including meeting with your bank manager and accountant, to ensure you can raise those funds, plus contingency.

It is also time to talk to a local real estate agent to ensure you will not be overcapitalising your home.

If the cost of your renovation will take the amount spent on your home above the ceiling price for homes in your area, it

may be time to rethink.

Even if you plan to stay long term, assuming you will eventually be in profit, overcapitalising is not a good idea. Sometimes selling unexpectedly is necessary and if the house is overcapitalised, you may lose money.

If you think the upheaval of a renovation is not justified, or you are undecided about it, an estate agent can help.

Have your home appraised - is the amount it is likely to sell for enough to buy the home you want and what are the chances you will be able to buy the home you want in your desired area for the amount you will have?

There are many important questions to be asked and considered.

Weigh all the factors involved, decide your priorities, draw on the professionals for advice, and talk to friends and family who have renovated about what was involved.

NEW HOMES & LAND

EXCLUSIVE DEAL FOR FIRST HOME BUYERS Who would’ve thought that first home buyers could afford a 21 square four bedroom home with two living areas.

Not only that but this home is built by an award winning builder and is located beside the award winning Cardinia Lakes community in Pakenham.

SJD Homes is offering a very

limited number of house and land packages at Cardinia Views estate for first home buyers.

estate is a fully planned community, which is conveniently located near an array of local amenities and offers tranquil open spaces and magnificent countryside views.

Home sites range from 400-1000 square metres which allows for a great home design to suit lifestyle and still have room for a good sized backyard.

SJD Homes has finance advice available and its sales team can show the various block and floorplan design options.

As last year’s HIA Herald Sun Home Magazine Readers Choice Award winners, SJD’s homes speak for themselves.

AGENT’S CHOICE

DELI IS MADE FOR SUCCESS business’s sales volume and opportunity and scope to expand through distribution made it a great opportunity for someone who was looking for a career change.

An option is also available to buy the state-of-the-art, purpose-built factory/retail freehold or indeed enter into a firm leasehold of a 5x5 years or other arrangement via negotiation.

The business is in a great location on a busy street with plenty of parking and has new and well maintained equipment and short operating hours from Tuesday to Saturday.

Contact Vincent Golf at RE/MAX Property Specialists, Shop 14, 30-32 Langhorne Street, Dandenong, on 0404 036 123 for more information or to arrange an inspection.

THERE is something to be said for tradition and Wisla Continental has that in spades.

Operating for the past 26 years, the well-known and much-loved continental deli has been lovingly established and built up by the current owners.

However life moves on for everyone and the owners are now looking to retire to spend more time with their grandchildren.

The business was a bit of a lifestyle change for the vendors all those years ago.

After years in the electronics industry a downturn had them searching for something new and they looked no further than their immediate family in Poland for inspiration.

With family help and recipes, honed over the past 70 years, they have used traditional recipes and techniques to produce preservative-free products that have attracted both the traditional customers and those looking for healthier alternatives.

Wisla is now a destination delicatessen where the manufacture of more than 60 varieties of smoked and cooked products, cold meats, imported deli items, cakes, breads, cheeses, dairy, other gourmet items, pantry staples and produce are enjoyed by the shop’s extensive, loyal and ever growing clientele.

And now the owners are looking for a family to not only take on the business but to pass the skills and recipes on to.

In fact, they are so keen to ensure that the business continues to thrive, they will stay on for a period of time as necessary to assist the new purchaser with the methods, techniques and secrets that have made Wisla the great success it is today.

Selling agent Vincent Golf said this

THE BUSINESS IS A THRIVING AND GROWING CONCERN.

NEW HOMES & LAND

AN ADDRESS OF DISTINCTION PROVES POPULAR WITH PURCHASERS Set atop undulating green hills, with sweeping views across as far as the Dandenong Ranges, the south-east’s newest community, Tulliallan, was launched to the public on 6 December.

Even amid the steady Melbourne drizzle, purchasers and locals flocked to the Cranbourne North site to discover the wide range of features and amenities the community has on offer.

Located on the cusp of historic Berwick, at 805 Berwick Cranbourne Road, Tulliallan combines the serenity of tree-lined boulevards, heritage buildings and leafy green open spaces with a contemporary masterplanned community.

The first release at Tulliallan, which features to total of 20 lots, has proven popular with eager purchasers who have been drawn in by the community’s idyllic setting and convenient location near some of the south-east’s best amenities.

Positioned in the heart of the community, just by Tulliallan’s heritage listed Elm Tree Gardens, the release was more than 65 per cent sold in its first week.

The property’s grand elm trees have been generously donated by Tulliallan’s former owner and will border the future Elm Tree Gardens community parkland, while the landscaping has been meticulously planned to complement the natural landscape.

Featuring approximately 1000 home sites across the community, Tulliallan also provides a number of green open spaces for relaxation and leisure, as well as an onsite neighbourhood centre, sports oval and nature trail.

With a focus on the natural environment, this forward-thinking development will include recycled water and fibre optic internet access to each home.

With sales expected to continue at their current rate over the next couple of weeks, Tulliallan is set to become the South East’s premier address and is perfectly positioned for a life of prosperity and distinction.

Tulliallan, 805 Berwick Cranbourne Road, Cranbourne North, 8786 7788.

NEW HOMES & LAND

BUYERS’ FIELD OF DREAMS The sun was shining as the first stage of Ramlegh Springs on Clyde hit the market recently with buyers lining up to claim their share of Clyde North’s best new address.

“With land prices in such a fantastic development starting from just $123,000, and with front yard landscaping by the award winning Flemings Nurseries included in the land price, it was little wonder we had 13 home sites snapped up by lucky buyers on the day,” Ramlegh Springs Estate manager Trudi Kerr said of the Saturday sale.

Despite overnight temperatures below 10 degrees leading up to the launch, first homebuyer Michael Burgoyne and his young family had their hearts set on a 544 square metre block located across the road from Ramlegh Park.

So he spent three cold nights camping outside the sales office to ensure they were first in line to claim their land when doors opened at 9am.

“We’ve been looking to purchase our first family home for almost three years and in that time no other development in the area has managed to capture our imagination like Ramlegh Springs.

“We’re absolutely thrilled to have finally purchased in such a fantastic new community and can’t wait to start building our dream home,” Michael said.

The event was advertised to anyone who was in the Clyde North area by the custom-made Ramlegh Springs on Clyde promotional blimp.

“Unlike most other developments in the area, Ramlegh Springs is located away

from the busy Clyde Road, tucked away on former farmland on an idyllic and peaceful patch of Clyde North countryside,” Trudi said.

“This means we had to come up with an innovative way to guide homebuyers to our brand new sales office,” she said.

The new Ramlegh Springs on Clyde sales office is located on Pattersons Road, Clyde North, and is open 10am to 6pm, Monday to Saturday.

For more information on Ramelgh Springs visit www.ramleghsprings.com.au or contact Trudi Kerr from Oliver Hume on 9684 8144.

Step up to our award winning Milan, voted HIA’s Best Display Home 2014.* The Milan 29 from our Aspire range has just won the 2014 HIA Victorian division Best Display Home between $250,001 – 300,000.

It’s an architect designed home ofering afordable luxury, space and light and a range of innovative features.

The sun court, for instance, actually increases the usable interior space and floods the living areas with light. Or as the judges said: “A very open home that gives the impression it is bigger than it actually is.

“Excellent workmanship, attention to detail and a feeling of spaciousness.” – HIA Judges

You can sense the diference immediately with generously proportioned spaces that flow together naturally to create vistas and extended views with picture windows usually only found in more expensive homes.

The high level of luxury inclusions also caught the eye of the judges who said the Caesarstone benches, Franke sinks and Smeg appliances “represent value for money”.

The overall style and elegance of this four bedroom home is typified by the raised ceiling above the dining area.

Visit the Milan today – and judge for yourself.

DANCE, MUSIC & DRAMA

Club keeps them coming back for more NARRE Warren Calisthenics Club continues to grow and has enjoyed another successful 2014 competition season.

As the club logo promotes, ’Make friends for life’ and this is what its members do.

Last year marked many milestones for a number of its girls and it is a credit to the club that many of the seniors of 2014 were the club’s ’tinies’ in 2000.

The club has girls who have been members for

10, 15, 20, 30 and 35 years.

The club has had success year after year across all sections, but is proud that it has kept the girls at the club doing a sport they love for so long.

Calisthenics develops strength, flexibility, deportment and co-ordination through its physical items – march, freearm, rods and clubs - while at the same time enhancing grace and poise in aesthetics (an item with elements of ballet) and encouraging girls to express themselves and per-

form with confidence through singing and dancing.

Calisthenics is such a diverse sport and a team sport, and the club welcomes new members to come and have a go.

The first three classes in February are free for new members and classes are offered to girls from four years of age to masters, 27 years of age plus. The club’s masters are in their sixth year.

Former cala girls or those who have experiNarre Warren Calisthenics Club encourages young performers to express themselves and perform with confidence through singing and dancing.

ence as a dancer or who are just keen to give it a try can drop by on 2 February and join.

The club competes at local competitions and the juniors, intermediates and seniors go to the Royal South Street competitions in Ballarat (the highlight for every girl – which is performing at Her Majesty’s Theatre).

Weekly classes are held in the performing arts hall at Fleetwood Primary School, Fleetwood Drive, Narre Warren.

For class times or more information call president Marilyn Howlett on 0468 492 611 or 9795 1298.

SPORT Tribute humbles Barnes

By JARROD POTTER WHILE he’s humbled to receive Cricket Victoria recognition, it has never been a driving force for Peter Barnes with his passion for local cricket.

Barnes, 71, North Dandenong, has been a part of the Dandenong District Cricket Association (DDCA) executive committee for 25 years and was honoured as one of Cricket Victoria’s 20 outstanding volunteers at its Volunteer Recognition Breakfast on daythree of the Boxing Day Test match in December at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).

No one could question Barnes’ commitment to all things DDCA as a 10-year veteran of the president’s seat as well as serving in various other roles on the committee in his two-and-a-half decades of helping the Dandenong-area cricket community.

Heading in to the Australia versus

India Boxing Day Test was an experience in itself for Barnes - who was none the wiser about the association nominating him for the award and would have been just as happy without the recognition as it’s his passion to help out.

“It was very humbling actually,” Barnes said.

“I didn’t know the association had nominated me for the volunteer recognition… I didn’t know until I got the letter from Cricket Victoria.

“My involvement with the association - I think has been 25 years on the executive - you enjoy the camaraderie of the people that you actually work with and do all these things with… it’s something you enjoy as a pastime or a hobby.

“It is a very humbling experience to be nominated for something like that because that’s not the reason you do - you don’t do it so you can get

Peter Barnes, centre, was recognised for his volunteer cricket work by Cricket Victoria at the Boxing Day Test.

132858 Picture: CRICKET VICTORIA recognition, you do it because that’s what you want to do.”

It’s been 25 years since he was first elected onto the executive and while Barnes doesn’t remember why he even stood for election in the first place, he wouldn’t change it for the world.

“I’m not really sure why I stood the first time I stood to be elected on the executive I missed out… didn’t get on there,” Barnes said.

“As far as a catalyst I’m not sure really of the reason why I did it, but I did it and it was a worthwhile opportunity.”

Barnes’ 10 seasons at the helm of the DDCA from 1994/95 to 2004/05 - in what he calls an “enjoyable and rewarding, if not challenging at times experience” - followed his time with North Dandenong Cricket Club beginning in the mid-1970s as a founding member and life member.

He was named a DDCA life member in 2001 and his focus has switched to his camerawork as Barnes goes around the grounds filming the matches for the annual Allan Wookey Medal vote count.

Barnes believes the association has improved dramatically in the last 20 years with the introduction of covers and the improving skill-level of Turf cricket along with the creation and cultivation of junior pathways.

“We offer all forms for cricket from Milo In2cricket… there’s a pathway for six and seven-years-olds and that extends all the way to seniors in the same association,” Barnes said.

“Then we provide masters for people like me who get too old to play Saturday competitive cricket - if you want to continue with masters’ cricket, we’re one of the only associations that

provides it.”

Cricket Victoria Chief Executive Officer Tony Dodemaide said the governing body was committed to recognising the extraordinary contributions that volunteers make to the game as many associations, clubs and teams would not exist without their support.

“On behalf of Cricket Victoria, I would like to congratulate this year’s outstanding volunteers,” Dodemaide said.

“I would like to thank this year’s recipients as well as all of the volunteers across the state for their continued support and tireless efforts to help our game thrive.”

Also recognised for their volunteering efforts at the breakfast were Andrew Kincaid (Noble Park) and John Wise (Berwick Springs CC).

Sisco’s faultless display all the Rage Marinko caught on the Hop

By JASON ADAMS

THURSDAY night racing belonged to Lara trainer John Galea as Sisco Rage produced a faultless display of speed and strength to take out the General Destini @ Stud Grade 5 final at Sandown Park.

Uncharacteristically, Sisco Rage hit the ground running out of box 1 and led his rivals first time past the post. From that stage onwards he was unchallenged, going on to win by three lengths in a fast 29.26.

Full of smiles post-race, trainer John Galea was surprised more than anyone by the performance.

“He never comes out like that,” Galea said.

“He came out of the box poorly last week in his heat, but given his racing style he’s able to make his own luck.”

The run underlined Sisco Rage’s versatility, having won over all three distances at Sandown Park.

“He’s won here over 715m before he would of ran well over any distance tonight.”

“I don’t know where I’ll take him to next, I’m not one to plan ahead,” Galea laughed.

The $12,000 first prize escalated his prize money tally to $114,655.

Earlier in the night emerging talent Astronomic added yet another win to his already impressive record, having taken out the GRV Vic Bred final.

Trained by young school teacher Stephanie Cameron, the two-year-old claimed his 10th win in just his 13th career start, having led all the way in 29.60.

CALLED into the Australian side on extremely short notice, Australian tennis player Marinko Matosevic served his country proudly at the Hopman Cup. Matosevic, 29, from North Dandenong, made the mad dash from Brisbane to Perth to replace the injured Matt Ebden in the ITF Hopman Cup and excelled in his first outing at the international teams tournament.

The world number 77 had a week going from perilous lows to soaring heights as he was called into the Australian side after a firstround defeat at the Brisbane International.

Partnering with Casey Dellacqua for the second of three tournament rounds, Matosevic’s shining achievement was a comefrom-behind victory over Frenchman Benoit Paire on Wednesday night as the Dandenong dasher fought back from a set down to take the victory 2-6, 6-4, 6-2.

France held on to defeat Australia in the mixed doubles 7-6(7-3), 7-5 to take the tie.

Great Britain ended the Australian run at the Hopman Cup on Friday night as Andy Murray and Heather Watson proved too powerful for the Matosevic/Dellacqua tandem, clinching all three matches in straight sets.

Australia lost on the opening night to eventual winners Poland 0-3 to leave the home side winless through the round-robin stage.

Perera packs a punch

By JARROD POTTER AN ALL-ROUND master class from Marasinghe Perera (117 not out and 4/28) guided Noble Park (6/233cc) to a huge one-day win over Ormond (143) to kick-start the New Year.

The bleak forecast and the loss of two early Bulls’ wickets didn’t deter Perera from piling on his best VSDCA score and second century in as many seasons. The revival started with an 83-run third wicket partnership between Perera and Ash Bradshaw (32) turning the tables on Ormond.

The pair feasted on Richard Stanyon (1/59) and Cameron Doherty (1/65) as the Bulls upped the run-rate past five-an-over.

The lower order backed their number four after Bradshaw fell to Stanyon, as Noble Park ran

up the scoreboard to 233 by innings end.

Rizan Mawzoon (24 not out), Paul Hill (19) and Chris Lee (11) smashed anything in their wheelhouse and rotated the strike back to their centurion as he raised the bat and left Ormond with a pile of runs to hunt down.

Perera (4/28) would not end his stellar match after putting the pads away - rattling through the Ormond tail with his spin leaving the result beyond doubt. Mawzoon (2/10) and Sean Schubert (2/18) were equally impressive as they smashed past the Ormond top order.

ENDEAVOUR HILLS v BOX HILL ENDEAVOUR HILLS (150) did not fare as well in their four-wicket loss to Box Hill (6/152) as the top order collapsed.

The wickets fell rapidly on the slow deck at Sydney Pargeter Reserve as the Eagles’ top order fell to 6/56.

Ben Swift (17) toiled to stay at the crease, similarly Justin Merlino (15) held on, preventing a collapse unfolding before the duo succumbed.

Swift’s innings would draw to a close off Robert Fortington (3/22), leaving the work up to the lower order.

The Eagles found plenty of life in the tail as Vaughan Baxter (30), Richard Saniga (28) and captain Chris Pereira (14) eked out a 150 parscore on a bleak day.

Endeavour Hills made the Mustangs fight for every run as an inspired knock from Gaurav Parikh (85) proved the difference between the sides. Parikh singlehandedly took on the Eagles’ attack as Periera (2/20) and Alastair Christy (1/30) toiled valiantly. Parikh fell to Christy with 10 left to notch, but the Mustangs lower order completed the task with three overs to spare.

Noble Park now leap into the top six with the win, displacing Endeavour Hills.

Heavy rain on Friday and poor forecasts forced the postponement of the remaining Dandenong area fixtures, including the DDCA Turf grades along with Victorian Premier Cricket men’s and women’s competitions.

FIVE wins in a row were made all that much sweeter for the Dandenong Rangers on Saturday with an upset 92-87 victory over WNBL league-leader Townsville.

Dandenong would have been able to set their own odds of upsetting the WNBL’s number-one ranked side Townsville at its home court on Saturday night as the Rangers continue to undo the damage of slipping to last place in Round 5.

Townsville - led by tall tandem Suzy Batkovic (30 points, 14 rebounds) and Cayla Francis (18 points, 10 rebounds) on the other hand had been unstoppable as it claimed eight-from-eight at home this season... that is before Dandenong showed up in peak form.

A 30-point second term cemented Dandenong’s early lead before the visitors pushed out to a 12-point buffer through the third term. It would come down to a battle between Dandenong’s rampaging guards and Townsville’s tall timber.

Tegan Cunningham (6 points, 9 rebounds) and Annalise Pickrel (4 points, 6 rebounds) battled bravely to hold off Batkovic and Francis in the defensive end, leaving the offensive work to the Rangers’ star trio - Penny Taylor, Cappie Pondexter and Kathleen Macleod.

It was a guard master-class on court as Penny Taylor (23 points, 8 rebounds) and Kathleen Macleod (23 points) found their form beyond the three-point arc.

Cappie Pondexter (23 points, 4 assists) celebrated her birthday this week with another powerhouse performance - including the match-sealing three-pointer late in the fourth term - to notch her fourth 20plus point game for the season.

Townsville outscored Dandenong in the final term to launch one final assault on maintaining its home-town record, but in the end the Rangers had too many weapons from beyond the perimeter.

Shooting at nearly 50 per cent from three-pointer proved the difference as Dandenong outclassed Townsville from long-range.

The last nail in Townsville’s unbeaten home season came from Cunningham, who tipped in the game-winner to give Dandenong its best win heading into its final six rounds of the 2014/15 season.

With the streak increasing Dandenong’s record to 9-7, the Rangers have flown up the WNBL ladder into fourth and will host Bendigo on Friday night from 7.30pm in their next uphill battle.

Tegan Cunningham came up with the clutch rebound and tip-in to give Dandenong the away over ladder leader - and until now unbeaten at home - Townsville. 129256 Picture: JARROD POTTER
